The staff here were absolutely lovely! It's a very quaint inn, just as you might imagine an Inn in the Scottish countryside would be. The room was small but functional. Ours looked out onto a sweet 'wee' courtyard.
We had a glass of wine in the bar after returning from having dinner at Kingsbarns Golf club and the bartender, Cammie, was so lovely and helpful. She gave some recommendations of places to see in Edinburgh and let us sample the Irn Bru, which is a local soft drink in Scotland that's a cross between orange and bubble gum flavor, and disgustingly sweet!

The included breakfast was one of the best ones we had in our travels through Scotland. There were cereals, juices and pastries as well as whatever you choose from menu.

All in all this Inn provided a very homey and tranquil experience during our whirlwind trip through Scotland and Ireland.

The staff at The Inn at Kingsbarns was phenomenal. We arrived early and they were accommodating in allowing us to check in early. We ate lunch in the quaint restaurant and the food was extremely good. We had requested to stay a third night but had to leave the morning of what would have been our third night stay. Lynn was very accommodating and understanding. The room was a good size and well appointed.

Lovely overnight stay at The Inn at Kingsbarns, the staff were very friendly and the location is ideal for St Andrews and the surrounding area.

Room was very comfortable, quiet and well appointed with a lovely bathroom and tea and coffee making making facilities with fresh milk in the fridge, my room also had access to a small patio area which was ideal to be able to just nip out to the car, the weather was not ideal but it was a nice addition.

Evening meal was very nice, small menu but concentrating on doing those items well rather than having too much on the menu, breakfast was again very nice with plenty of options be it cooked or continental.

Very nice stay indeed :-)

A wee gem of a place to stay, it was in a quiet area not much to do unless you were driving although there are buses available into St Andrews. Golf courses nearby.
The hotel was lovely. Room was spacious and comfortable, we had a good nights sleep. A good selection of teas and coffee in your room and a nice selection of toiletries.
The staff were great, friendly and helpful. Its just a small hotel but you soon feel part of the family, not much seems to bother them, you will get a very warm welcome especially from Harris the dog.

Excellent breakfast - we ate in The Scranhoose on three evenings and on each occasion the food was home cooked and of excellent quality and value. The Inn is in a great location to explore the local area and it was so good to be able to relax in the bar at the end of the evening.

A comfortable stay . Hosts were very welcoming and friendly . Breakfast was very good . Location excellent for visiting places in both directions . Felt rooms were rather overpriced as this was a small inn rather than hotel but appreciate this is an expensive area to visit so will have been priced accordingly . Harris the dog was a great talking point and such a lovely pet. However there was lots of dog hair around so if you are allergic to dogs this may not be for you .

The perfect choice in Kingsbarns!

Very clean, beautiful inn outside of St. Andrew's. Craig, the manager, was over-the-top welcoming, helpful in many ways, and the food was the best we had in 11 days of traveling. We wanted accommodations near but not in St. Andrews, for something a little quieter and more intimate, and it exceeded out expectations.

Thank you Craig, Max and Annette (Annette: your culinary gifts are remarkable!). We will sing your praises to anyone going your way!

We had a wonderful stay here. Everything was fantastic. The beds were so comfortable I wanted to take them home. We actually extended our stay because it was just a lovely Inn. Had a great evening visiting with the owner Max and the food prepared by his wife was amazing. There was plenty of parking, a bus stop near by and a taxi from the St. Andrew's bus station for 20 quid is worth getting out of the city center.

Beautiful spacious and clean rooms, but local area lacks anywhere to eat. So be prepared to have to travel to even find a shop.

We booked 2 nights at the Inn at Kingsbarns. The rooms have recently been renovated and very comfortable and clean. New beds, quality bedding. Fresh cooked breakfast with many choices. Owners are friendly and on site, helpful with recommendations . A small pub and restaurant as well. We enjoyed after a busy day of exploring returning for a drink in the the pub, dinner and no driving required. We would stay again.

Lovely Location to St. Andrews and Coastal Towns

This is a great location when visiting St. Andrews or Anstruther. Especially, if you want to have amenities close by in Crail and want a relatively quiet location. The owners/operators are wonderful to work with along the way. They are very responsive and are a delight. This location provides a breakfast along with your stay. That was most wonderful and \"homey\". I would highly recommend this location, if you want a quaint and wonderful location, as well as a fantastic manager/owner/operator of this location in Maxx and Annette. They are great and have 30+ years of experience in B&B and other single stay and multiple stay facilities. Single night stays are possible. We would stay again, should we come to Scotland in the future........without hesitation.

Although they were doing renovations they were very courteous and made sure that it did not effect our stay. The owners worked the property and were so gracious. The breakfast was outstanding and had something for everyone. If or should I say when I return to St Andrews I would definitely stay there again. We absolutely loved the place.

Worth a stay

The welcome was very friendly. Initially bedroom felt chilly, it was cold and windy outside, but bathroom couldn’t be faulted and was very warm. Dinner was value for money but dining room would have benefited from the glow from a real fire alight in the prepared fireplace. However the bed was very comfortable and the breakfast excellent, an exceptionally wide choice on offer.

Lovely place to stay, Very dog friendly!

Stayed here for one night with our little boy and our dog. Beautiful big family room with very comfortable beds. The bathroom was lovely. We had dinner in the bar area which was really tasty. Great that we could have our dog with us. Breakfast was yummy. Annette's poached eggs were amazing! Our dog loved the sausage 😊 Close to the beach. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for having us.

Little gem

Stayed here for the night after visiting the local distillery. Annette & Max made you feel very welcome in their inn. We had drinks in the very cosy bar then a fabulous & tasty meal in the Scranhouse. Think pub grub but on a higher level, no frozen pre packed meals here, home cooked all the way, hat off to chef & kitchen staff. We had the family room on ground floor which was a great size with 2 double beds & sofa. Breakfast was a treat with quality produce & a good variety to chose from. This place is a gem & would totally recommend it to all for eating, staying over or just nipping in for a quick drink. Dogs are just as welcome as their human owners. !!

Great little hotel

A freezing day in late November but a warm welcome, a big clean room with a giant bed, a good dinner in the restaurant and an even better breakfast. Fruit, home made muesli, toast and coffe on tap and a well cooked grill. Excellent value.

Cosy stay near to University

Cosy but classy hotel. Friendly professional owners that were very welcoming. Stayed in the family room that was really spacious with lots of special details. From the toiletries, small bottle of freash milk to the large flat screen TV. We had a wonderfull evening meal and breakfast with plenty of choice. I would highly reccomend this hotel.

Felt like home away from home

I was here on a golf trip to play Kingsbarns Golf Links. When I arrived, the staff checked me in very quickly and the room was very clean and had a nice view of the small town. I had been in other areas of Europe and Scotland during my trip and this was the best nights sleep I had the entire trip. The beds & pillows were very comfortable along with large shower and space in the room. I was very surprised by the great food as well. Dinner I had the fish and chips which was prepared quick and very tasty. Breakfast was great as well. The staff was as friendly as they come. They offered me a ride to the golf course in the morning and also a ride into St. Andrews where I was going next. I was incredibly happy with the couple running this Inn and if I am ever back, I will definitely stay at the Kingsbarns Inn again.
